With this cake I think I may have beaten some sort of "most dragees on a cake" record. This cake was designed using several inspiration photos the bride provided during our consultation.

I really liked the softness and texture that the various sized sugar pearls added to the design. When it was finished it reminded me of a winter themed cake

Getting all those dragees on the cake was actually easier than I thought it would be. I placed each tier on a smaller inverted cake pan, and then placed that smaller cake pan into a very large cake pan. I would take a handful of mixed size dragees and apply them to the sides of the cake. The ones that didn't catch would just collect in that larger cake pan for me to scoop up and use again!

One last thing that's not cake-related, but I wanted to ask for your help on...

Our friends Ayesha and Zach have been selected as finalists in the StiVectin "Power to Change" program. If they win, they will use the grant money to overhaul an Airstream and make a mobile art station in Chattanooga, TN. They have worked very hard on this project and it only takes a click to vote.
